We design a three-layered collocation extraction tool by integrating syntactic and semantic knowledge and apply it in China English studies. The tool first extracts peripheral collocations in the frequency layer from dependency triples, then extracts semi-peripheral collocations in the syntactic layer by association measures, and last extracts core collocations in the semantic layer with a simi...

In this paper, we describe a new method for extracting monolingual collocations. The method is based on statistical methods extracts. VN collocations from large textual corpora. Being able to extract a large number of collocations is very critical to machine translation and many other application. The method has an element of snowballing in it. Initially, one identifies a pattern that will prod...

In this paper, I introduce the DICI, an electronic dictionary of Italian collocations designed to support the acquisition of the collocational competence in learners of Italian as a second or foreign language. I briefly describe the composition of the reference Italian corpus from which the collocations are extracted, and the methodology of extraction and filtering of candidate collocations. It...

This paper presents a corpus-linguistic case study on the usage of Attitudinal Past in spoken communication. As representatives of the phenomenon, the two forms ‘I wondered’ and ‘I was wondering’ were selected. The aim is twofold: the first aim is to discuss frequent collocations, to analyse grammatical and structural features and to examine discourse factors governing the use of Attitudinal Pa...

This paper describes the NMSU-Pitt-UNCA word-sense disambiguation system participating in the Senseval-3 English lexical sample task. The focus of the work is on using semantic class-based collocations to augment traditional word-based collocations. Three separate sources of word relatedness are used for these collocations: 1) WordNet hypernym relations; 2) cluster-based word similarity classes...
